Indoor And Outdoor Swings Provide Children Of All Ages With The Vestibular Input They Need And Crave!

From infants to toddlers, children to teens, swings are
an essential ingredient for fun! Children need to experience this
type of vestibular input without fear to develop properly.

Swings are an integral part of sensory integration
therapy, are included in every treatment clinic and should be provided
at home and school. It is this rhythmic input that can calm a child and
give them the vestibular (movement) input their bodies need.

I know, for many parents, one of the very first calming
activities used for their infant is a portable indoor swing. When all
else fails and the crying won't stop, the swing may just become your best friend. Rhythmic movement is the cornerstone to a relaxed child!

As children grow, different swings will give them the
input they desire, and we have found some great ones! The best
therapeutic swings are platform swings that go back and forth in one
plane, but they are expensive. Did you know, this same type of movement can be
achieved by glider rockers as well?

However, lets talk about the selection of swings available
to you. I highly recommend, from day one, you have an infant swing
available for your child. Your arms will get tired of rocking them and
this movement can be quite soothing to your fussy little infant.

As they grow, you will want a toddler swing that
you can hang outside and push them for hours (well, that is, if they had
THEIR way). These swings come with a firm, snug fit and locking designs
that will keep them safely in the swing.

As they grow some more, the sling type swings will do
fine and they will enjoy spending hours in the backyard getting the
vestibular input they need.

Also available are tire swings for a different movement
experience. You may have seen tire swings made into animals (such as
horses), which adds a wonderful uniqueness to these swings. Be careful,
their friends and cousins just may be jealous!

Additionally, there are many backyard swingsets to
choose from; from the simple metal ones, to elaborate wooden sets.
Whatever your preference and budget, you can find what you need here.

Enjoy browsing the products below and bring the fun and
calming vestibular input home to your child! Trust me, they will need
it (as well as you!)
